Kokeshi, Salem Standout Qualities: Umami-laden Kokeshi Broth, simmered for 17 hours, provides a satisfying base for a variety of toppings, like pork belly (natch) or fried chicken. Fun Fact: The broth arose from a compromise between the owners—one prefers a rich, thick tonkatsu style, while the other likes a light miso style, so they combined the two. Insider Tip: For an appetizer, try the flash-fried chicken wings, slow-braised for four hours in a mixture of broth and chicken fat and then dusted with a secret Asian-style coating and deep fried. 41 Lafayette St., Salem, 978-594-4197, kokeshirestaurant.com
